Even Luis Ortiz could come and say, ‘Let’s go,’ and we’d do that. Ruiz has a different value, so the pay-per-view numbers would be less for Andy Ruiz than they would for Luis Ortiz [in the UK]. The gate would probably be less for Andy Ruiz than it would for Luis Ortiz. Additionally, there’s not enough time for the 40-year-old Ortiz (31-0, 26 KOs) to get ready for the Joshua fight in less than seven weeks. Ortiz hasn’t been training, so it’s a tougher task for him to get ready for the Joshua fight with a short camp.
